Narrating her ordeal, Enobong said, “My father started soliciting sex from me. In fact, that April, my father forcefully had sexual intercourse with me in our small room. He had sex with me in the middle of the night. He has had sex with me several times. I have lost count of the number of times he had sex with me.

“What is making this issue explode now is that one day, after I returned from selling recharge cards, my father got angry that I got home late. I tried to explain to him that I had to balance my account. He refused to accept my explanation. He started flogging me with a fan belt.

“My father beating me is nothing new but the beating of that particular day, was too severe. The beating left a lot of bruises on my body. It was so obvious that one of my customers, who noticed the bruises the following day, asked me what happened.

“I poured out my heart to the customer. The shocked customer happened to be a lawyer who took the matter to the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Welfare, Akwa Ibom State.

“I was invited to share my horrifying experience.”

Enobong was said to have further revealed that she had once told her stepmother, that her father used to have sex with her and her younger sister, Imaobong.

On her part, Imaobong said she was 11-year-old when her father started having sex with her.

In tears, she narrated: “My father returned home one day and called me to a quiet place. He asked me whether I had ever had sex with a man before. I said no. He said he would be the first man to have sex with me. I was shocked. I wanted to say something, but he shouted at me to shut up.

“When it was midnight, my father raped me. I cried and felt ashamed. He raped me, not once, not twice. He raped me several times. One day, my mother heard me crying, she came to me. I told her the little I could. My mum was angry. But my father didn’t stop having sex with me. My mum knows about it,” she added.

According to the report, the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Welfare invited the police and Amah was arrested and charged to court.

Amah was arraigned on three-count charge of incest, carnal knowledge and assault, contrary to Section 242 and 364 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Akwa Ibom State.

Amah said: “Yes, I slept with my daughters in the bedroom room, while my wife was sleeping in the sitting room. My wife was ill with malaria. She had been ill for a week. Sometimes, my wife used to deny me sex. That was why I solicited sex from my daughters.

“Aside from my wife sexually starving me, I suspected that my daughter, Imaobong, wasn’t a virgin.”

“When I inserted my manhood into her vagina, I discovered that no man has had sex with her. I immediately removed my manhood.”
